What Are We? A Monsoon Wind
we are just the monsoon wind
that comes and then goes
what we have here
what we obtain with labor and store and adore
we leave them all here
the trees and the fields
the gardens and the flowers
the roof and the rail of the stair
the carpet on the floor
the rings in our hands
dates embedded on the tombs
we all leave them here and they may not
even remember
we wish change and change may come
and the world may even be more beautiful to feel and see
we may catch the glow but then in a moment we are all gone
all, all gone....

I Am Merely Passing By
i do not wish to change this world
neither do i wish to change myself
when i come here and when i leave
it will all be the same, i am not
involved, i come as a stranger looking
at things and people and not even talking
about them, & i leave them as they all are
i do not take any flesh or bone, for i come
as the wind, and i leave as the same wind,
i do not change a room, it will be the same
tree, if something is lost, or rotten, or
by the grace of the heavens, grows and
become one beautiful mountain, sea or
sky, i only watch them all, as i pass by...

Blind
Ive been searching for the answers
Ive been diving in the sea
Ive been haunted by the shadows
Of what we could have been
And its not that Im broken
And it isnt that I bleed
But when you pulled the stars from the heavens
It got so hard to see
And where would I put my hands now?
Its over now, we had our time
Its over now, we had our time
But you leave me, blind
Will you leave me, blind
Dove for the treasures
We went deep down for the pearls
And we could have cracked it open
Yeah, it could have been so good
And where would I put my hands now?
Its over now, we had our time
Its over now, we had our time
I feel this pain, I know Im alive
If love is wrong, then Im doing time
I feel myself, small like a child
My love has gone, how will I survive
Its everywhere, its in the trees
All those stars and I cant see
Im blind, Im blind, Im blind
And how will you think of us
A crease along your hand
Lying at these temple doors
Beautiful and sad
And where would I put my hands now?
Its over now, we had our time
Its over now , we had our time
But you leave me, blind
Will you leave me, blind
Its in the trees
All those stars and I cant see
Oh, you leave me, you leave
You leave me, blind, blind
Ooh, you leave me, you leave me
Its in the trees
You leave me, you leave me
Blind

Monsoon at peak! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Monsoon at peak
I hear a monologue-
Rain speaks…
Monsoon at peak,
Thatched roofs
Leak…
Monsoon at peak,
Corn on cob
Wins over coffee…
Monsoon at peak,
Can I go out, mother?
A child pleads…
Monsoon at peak,
A boy steals a look
At a girl soaked to skin…
Monsoon at peak,
Roads flooded,
Where is MCD?
Monsoon at peak,
Umbrellas
New fashion accessory…
Monsoon at peak,
Sun gets much needed
Rest…
Monsoon at peak,
Bathes
Foliage and trees.
Monsoon at peak
Schools closed
Children squeal,
Wish, it rains
Everyday of the week…
Monsoon at peak,
Leave your shoes at the door-
Mother screams…
Monsoon at peak,
Driver stops
To wipe the wind shield…
Monsoon at peak,
Open pavements
Home to many,
Wear deserted look …
Monsoon at peak,
Wet laundry-
Sun rise, please.

Close Range
I wanna scream, I wanna shout
I wanna know what its all about
Ive seen it before but not like this
I saw your name, it was on the list
By 4 oclock (its gonna change)
You were pretty high (its gonna change)
Right on the floor (its gonna change)
Looking at the sky (its gonna change)
I remember you (its gonna change)
When you were a kid (its gonna change)
It was pretty strange (its gonna change)
And things you did
Youve got to pull yourself together man
Youve got to get back on your feet again
How can I ever make you understand
Youve got the world right in your hands
No cold heart could turn away
And not be moved by what I saw today
There on the floor, thirty years or more
He doesnt care, he just wants to score
By 4 oclock (its gonna change)
You were pretty high (its gonna change)
Right on the floor (its gonna change)
Looking at the sky (its gonna change)
I remember you (its gonna change)
When you were a kid (its gonna change)
It was pretty strange (its gonna change)
And things you did
Youve got to pull yourself together man
Youve got to get back on your feet again
How can I ever make you understand
Youve got the world right in your hands
Youve got to pull yourself together man
Youve got to get back on your feet again
How can I ever make you understand
Youve got the world right in your hands
Yet it only seems just like yesterday
We used to run and hide
Remember in the park where we used to play
The grass looked ten foot high
Youve got to pull yourself together man
Youve got to get back on your feet again
How can I ever make you understand
Youve got the world right in your hands
Youve got to pull yourself together man
Youve got to get back on your feet again
How can I ever make you understand
Youve got the world right in your hands

Woman
Music :rudolf schenker
Lyrics:klaus meine
Woman you can change my world
Woman you can change my world
Im chained to the fears
Inside these walls
The silence talks loud
bout the things I recall
Through the bricks in the window
I scream at the world
But when no one is listening
Its hard to be heard
Woman you can change my world
Woman therell be no return
I see shadows
Coming through the walls
I hear voices
But no ones talking at all
I can feel the madness
Crawling up my spine
Reachin out
To grab your mind
Woman come and change my world
(do you remember all those fears? )
They wont leave me alone
(do you remember all those tears? )
I pretend to be strong
(do you remember all the pain? )
Im getting tired of the game
I cannot live I cannot die
I wanna know who the hell am i
Youve never seen me
But I know you so well
And before it kills me
I gotta break the spell
The deeper we touch
The higher well go
The time has come
To heal my soul
Woman you can change my world
(do you remember all those fears? )
They wont leave me alone
(do you remember all those tears? )
I pretend to be strong
(do you remember all the pain? )
Im getting tired of the game
I cannot live I cannot die
I wanna know who the hell am i
Woman Im gonna change your world

You're Gonna Change (Or I'm Gonna Leave)
You wore out a brand-new trunk
Packin' and unpackin' all your junk
Your mama's mad, she done got peeved
You're gonna change or I'm gonna leave.
Well, this ain't right and that is wrong
You just keep naggin' all the day long
It's gonna stop, I don't mean please
Now you're gonna change or I'm gonna leave.
The way to keep a woman happy
And her do what's right
Is love her every mornin' and do the same at night
Your mama's mad, she done got peeved
You're gonna change or I'm a-gonna leave.
Every time you get mad
You pack your rags and go back to what you had
You tell her lies she don't believe
You're gonna change or I'm gonna leave.
You're gonna change your way of livin'
Change the things you do
Stop doin' all the things that you aughten too
Your mama's mad, she done got peeved
You're gonna change or I'm a-gonna leave.
You're gonna change or I'm a-gonna leave...

Change In Scenery
I'll keep my small town girl name
but you can change the trees
change the breeze
I'll keep my big heart
but you can change the roads
change the toads
I'll keep my ice-melting smile
but you can change the distance
change the miles
I'll keep my soft hands
but you can change the grass
change the land
I'll keep what makes me me
but you can change our untogetherness
and change the scenery

Stay Or Leave
Maybe different but remember
Winters warm where you and I
Kissing whiskey by the fire
With the snow outside
And the summer comes
the river
Swims at midnight
Shiver cold
Touch the bottom
You and I
With muddy toes
Stay or leave
I want you not to go
But you should
It was good as good goes
Stay or leave
I want you not to go
But you did
Wake up naked drinking coffee
Making plans to change the world
While the world is changing us
It was good good love
You used to laugh under the covers
Maybe not so often now
But the way I used to laugh with you
Was loud and hard
Stay or leave
I want you not to go
But you should
It was good as good goes
Stay or leave
I want you not to go
But you did
So what to do
With the rest of the day's afternoon hey
Isn't it strange how we change
Everything we did
Did I do all that I should
That I coulda done
Remember we used to dance
And everyone wanted to be
You and me
I want to be too
What day is this
Besides the day you left me
What day is this
Besides the day you went
So what to do
With the rest of the day's afternoon hey
Well isn't it strange how we change
Everything we did
Did I do all that I could
Remember we used to dance
And everyone wanted to be you and me
I want to be too
What day is this
Besides the day you went babe
What day is this

Wind Of Change made me a call
To better my life, my inner, my all
To revive my Heart, my Mind, my Soul
Wind Of Change helped me to soar
To leave the cruel fields of War
To knock the Peaceful Heaven’s Door
Wind Of Change turned the last page of sadness
To begin in the Name Of GOD the well of gladness
To forget the mournful years of vanity, of darkness
Wind Of Change brought a warm breeze
To alter my cold, to put my Heart at ease
To give the Peace’s Hand a squeeze
Wind Of Change whispered softly in my ears
“Enigma, I’ll take away all your fears”
“From your cheeks I’ll wipe the trail of tears”
Wind Of Change changed my sail course
Helped my astray boat,
To navigate without Oars
To anchor it to the Right shores…

Leave Well Enough Alone
Writers: tom snow & kerry chater
Little girl have your fun
Take it easy
Just dont jump the gun
You dont have to try so hard
You will always be my number one
You got me in your bed of roses
Please dont change the boy
cause havin you around heaven knows
Is somethin I enjoy
Leave well enough alone baby
Dont get too serious no
Leave well enough alone child
Dont go and change on us
Life wont be the same for us
Better leave it alone
I know youve got ideas
Monograms and sets of hers and his
I hate to have to break the spell
But let me tell you how it really is
You know I feel at home with you just the way we are
But go ahead and dream those dreams
But just dont carry them too far
Leave well enough alone baby
Dont get too serious no
Leave well neough alone child
Dont go and change on us
Life wont be the same for us
Better leave it alone
You know it feels so good with you just the way we are
But if you wanna dream those dreams baby
Dont carry them too far
Leave well enough alone child
I love you just the way we are
Leave well enough alone baby
Lets not change a thing baby
Lets not change a thing babe
Leave it alone
Please, please, please, please leave it
Leave it alone baby

Sunday Girl
paints her sky light tangerine,
maple laughter evergreen,
frustrated, it's only believing,
and she knows who mind she blows
come on sunday girl
u'll never change the world
leave it girl let's go
guess the flowers know her name
brightest angels placed to shame
must hate her, she had them believing
and she knows wherever she blows
come on sunday girl
u'll never change the world
leave it girl let's go
keeps me high on her shelf
treats me like no one else
she wants me to fly
but i fall, and i fall
and i thought, i thought i had it all
come on sunday girl
u'll never change the world
leave it girl let's go!!

Change! Change! Change!
change! change! change!
everybody talkin' about change.
change your look,
change your luck,
change your politics,
change your religion...
change the country,
change the world....
change the day!
change your underwear!
loose change, pocket change,
winds of change, march for change....
but all real change begins within...
let's work on that,
and then everything else
will change in turn!

Across The Universe
Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither wildly as they slip away
Across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes
They call me on and on
Across the universe
Thoughts meander like the restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Sounds of laughter, shades of life are ringing through my open ears
Inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love, which shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on and on
Across the universe
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothings gonna
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothing
Nothing

Nothings gonna
Noth, nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change it
Nothings gonna change it
Hey yeah, nothings gonna change it
Nothings gonna change it
Nothings gonna change it
Nothings gonna change it
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change it (nothings gonna change it)
Nothings gonna change it (no no no no no)
Nothings gonna change my world (nothings gonna change my world)

Hemorrhage
Hemorrhage (In My Hands)"
memories are just where you laid them
drag the waters 'till the depths give up their dead
what did you expect to find?
was there something you left behind?
don't you remember anything i said when i said
don't fall away, and leave me to myself
don't fall away and leave love bleeding
in my hands, in my hands again
leave love bleeding
in my hands, in my hands
love lies bleeding
oh hold me now i feel contagious
am i the only place that you've left to go
she cries her life is like
some movie black and white
dead actors faking lines
over and over and over again she cries
don't fall away, and leave me to myself
dont fall away, and leave love bleeding
in my hands, in my hands again
leave love bleeding
in my hands, in my hands
love lies bleeding
and i wanted
you turned away
you don't remember, but i do
you never even tried
don't fall away and leave me to myself
don't fall away and leave love bleeding
in my hands, in my hands again
leave love bleeding
in my hands, in my hands
love lies bleeding

How do you feel,
Tell me what's wrong,

Your so very mean,
You hurt me,
I'm different,
I can't believe you said I'm different,
Your different,
What's different about me,
My hair,
My clothes,
My feelings,
My love for you,
I'm still me,
Don't leave me alone,

If I Had You
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

You by my side
(Ooh, ooh)
The other day I saw you walkin' (ooh)
You looked as pretty as a peach
You seemed so near
And yet somehow you're out of my reach (out of my reach)
If I had you I'd have the power (I'd have the power)
To do most anything I choose (whatever you wanted)

So I'm gone with the wind
I won't look back
When I head into the future
Set sail I'm all go
When to come I don't know
But now I feel I can do it all
But leaving you
It must be so
On my way now
At the turning point here
It's time now
I'm going into high gear
I know how
I'm gonna make it all clear
And leave without no fear
Now the time has come for you
you're on your way
You will change the world
whatever they might say

All the things you ever want to do
You will change your life and make it all

Had to be done while I still
Had power left
To fulfil the promises
That I made long ago
On my way but
The road is long and winding
But I will find the path
I know it must be so
On my way now
At the turning point here
It's time now
I'm going into high gear
I know how
I'm gonna make it all clear
And leave without no fear
Now the time has come for you
you're on your way
You will change the world

You will change your life and make it all

Change your world now
I don't know how

If I just find a way
Now the time has come for you

You will change the world

Now, you're gonna change or i'm a-gonna leave.
The way to keep a woman happy
And make her do what's right
Is love her ev'ry mornin', bawl her out at night
Your daddy's mad; he's done got pee-eeved
Now, you're gonna change or i'm a-gonna leave.
Ev'ry time you get mad
You pack your rags and go back to dad
You tell him lies he don't belie-ieve
Now, you're gonna change or i'm a-gonna leave.
